Coin Purse Tutorial & Give-Away!

Since you guys seem to like these crafty tutorials, I've got a great one for you today from Epbot reader Marilou G. of Clothdragon.

Marilou has spoiled me with not one but two fabulous Epbot-inspired goodies. First, this cutey-patootie clay 'bot:

Click here for her blog post on it.And then most recently with this fabulous little leather change purse:Isn't it great? It's been hanging on my gray messenger bag purse since the moment I got it. And, fortunately for any of you who'd like to give it a whirl, Marilou made a tutorial here!

But wait, there's more!

Marilou *also* sent me the first pouch she made, which she [cough cough] sort of happened to forget to add the 'bot's ears on:Still, totes adorbz, am I right?

And, since I'd be insanely greedy to keep both pouches, I'm going to give this one away to one of you, with Marilou's blessing.

So, for your chance to win this one-of-a-kind, handmade, earless Epbot 'bot leather coin pouch, just leave a comment below. I'll choose a winner at random at 10pm EST tonight, and I'll announce the winner both here, on this post, and also on Facebook, so be sure to check back!

The contest has ended, and the winner is vicTORIa, who commented at 3:46pm! Congrats, and please e-mail me your mailing address, vicTORIa.

Wow Marilou! Those are amazing! And while the traditional Epbot is who we all know and love, I think he is (almost) as adorable without ears! Fantastic job!

Since I have absolutely no craft skills to recreate one myself, the only hope I have at getting something so cute is to win one (insert shameless begging).

I don't have any fun craft projects to share, but I'm assigning my students (I teach college English) a process analysis (basically a how to) paper, and I promise if I get any fun crafts, I will send them to you! I also get all kinds of yummy recipes if anyone wants!

PS- the word verification is telling me to write "twele"...I think they forgot the "v".

I'm that little kid wriggling around in my seat in the front of the class with my had in the air that the teacher refuses to call on because I've answered every question so far. Oooooo oooo oooo meee! me! me! me!

Oh my, I've been thinking about getting a coin purse when I trade in my wallet for my DH's Big Skinny wallet (once he gets a new one). And the bot would go perfect with my DD and DS's bedroom (it's robots, a space ship, planets, stars, and lots of bright colors). And I think the bot would also match my orange Keen messenger/diaper bag (though nobody wears diapers anymore, I can't part with it, it is orange, after all:))BTW, thanks for the chance to win!

Omg! Those are soooo adorable :) I am a huge fan of robots- I even used them as the theme for my wedding! We had robot invitations, robot cupcakes, and I even wore a robot necklace that my husband bought for me for my birthday :)
